About Annette

I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist with a Master’s degree in Acupuncture from the Tai Sophia Institute (now Notre Dame of Maryland University's School of Integrative Health) in the United States. My training is rooted in classical Five-Element Acupuncture—a tradition that focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of imbalance within a person’s unique constitution.​

​​

What drew me to this approach is its ability to support healing on every level—not just the physical body, but also the mind and spirit. I’m continually amazed by the emotional and energetic shifts that occur in treatment, even when a client’s initial complaint is purely physical.​

​​

In addition to Five-Element acupuncture, I’ve studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, the AcuOsteo method, botanicals and supplements, as well as a variety of hands-on bodywork techniques. I love weaving together different healing modalities to create treatments that are deeply supportive, personalized, and effective.​

In 2018, I moved from the U.S. to the Netherlands with my Dutch husband and our two children. Since settling here, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, supporting them through challenges such as (in)fertility, gynecological and obstetric concerns, burnout, and recovery from post-traumatic stress. My approach is integrative, combining acupuncture, naturopathic tools, and bodywork to help you feel your best—balanced, resilient, and at home in your body.
